Call for Applications: Training program for journalists covering climate and energy related issues in the Western Balkans - CAN Europe Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe, Europe’s leading NGO coalition fighting dangerous climate change, is pleased to announce an open call for applications to a specialised training program designed for journalists […]

Final NECPs Deadline: June 30
EU Member States must submit their final National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) by June 30. These plans are crucial for:

Climate action: Outlining targets and policies for 2030 and beyond.
Economic benefits: Potential €1 trillion gain by 2030.
Social justice: Ensuring a just transition.

The revised plans come at a pivotal time, post-EU elections, where new political dynamics will shape future policies. Despite these changes, the urgency for climate action remains.

In the coming years, we’ll look back at this NECP revision process as a defining moment for Europe’s climate commitment. Ambitious NECPs will not only demonstrate leadership but also address citizens' priorities, as climate action remains a top concern. Recent research indicates that aligning with a 1.5°C trajectory can improve energy independence and lower living costs, providing tangible benefits to all.

The European Commission has stated that “Member States must increase their ambition and implement significant improvements before the submission of their final updated NECPs in June 2024”, echoing the concerns raised by NGOs and soon confirmed by the first progress report of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change’s (ESABCC).
The message could not be more timely - by delivering robust NECPs now, Member States can showcase their dedication to climate goals and ensure we are on the right path to achieving the Paris Agreement’s goal.

Who are 🛡️Protectors, 🐌Procrastinators and 🦖Prehistoric Thinkers at the European Parliament?

😱Our new in-depth European Parliament Scoreboard reveals that only a minority of 2019-2024 MEPs acted as Protectors of the people and planet. Instead, the majority were either Procrastinators or Prehistoric thinkers, delaying real climate action with patchy and inconsistent voting records, or worse, completely failing to rise to the challenge of the crises Europe is facing.

📢 NEW REPORT OUT: “Paris Pact Payoff: Speeding up the green transition for socio-economic co-benefits”

🌍 CAN Europe's latest findings unveil a compelling narrative—climate action is not just a moral imperative, but an economic powerhouse. Find the full report here:https://caneurope.org/content/uploads/2024/01/CAN-Europe-co-benefits-of-climate-action-REPORT.pdf

🌱 Moral Duty Meets Pragmatic Choice
Protecting people and the planet from the devastating impacts of climate change is not only a moral duty but a pragmatic choice. The numbers have been crunched, revealing that climate action doesn't only ensure social well-being; it emerges as a robust driver of economic benefits.

💡 Quantifying the Benefits
CAN Europe's comprehensive report quantifies the benefits across key sectors—health, employment, cost of living, welfare losses, energy security, and resource extraction reductions—associated with a 1.5°C-aligned climate action path. The resounding conclusion is clear: the economic gains significantly outweigh the costs, providing an indisputable case for an encompassing transition.

📊 Key Findings:
📈 A 1.5°C pathway unlocks direct benefits exceeding €1 trillion for the entire EU by 2030.
💰 Economic benefits outweigh costs, presenting an unequivocal rationale for decisive climate action.
🛡️ Adopting a 1.5°C-compatible pathway drastically reduces economic losses, averting €46,000 per capita compared to inaction.
🌐 Embracing the Paris Agreement target aligns with a 1.5°C trajectory, promising socio-economic benefits.
🚀 Potential Unleashed: Journey to 2040 Climate Neutrality
CAN Europe's report underscores that aligning climate ambition with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C goal carries profound potential. This isn't merely about avoiding losses; it's about unlocking socio-economic benefits on the path to achieving a 2040 climate neutrality objective. The call to action is clear, and the benefits are substantial.
🌐 National Influence and Global Impact
As discussions on a consolidated 2040 EU climate target unfold, national leaders have a pivotal opportunity to influence the course of action. The finalisation of National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) becomes a critical juncture, defining national climate and energy policies until 2030.
💬 Demand for Bold Leadership
Guided by irrefutable evidence from science, economics, and societal impacts, an unwavering commitment to climate and energy targets aligned with a 1.5°C-compatible pathway is not just prudent—it's the only viable course.
🌿 The Path Forward: Bold and Accelerated Climate Action
In the face of opportunities to rectify our course, the imperative for bold and accelerated climate action resonates. There is no cheaper, reliable, or just alternative. This isn't just about mitigating climate impacts; it's about unleashing a wave of positive co-benefits—improved public health, increased green jobs, reduced energy poverty, minimized material footprint, and avoided climate-related welfare losses.
🌐 Conclusion: A Resounding Call to Action
CAN Europe's report encapsulates more than just data; it encapsulates a resounding call to action. It's a call to transform our moral duty into pragmatic choices, unlocking the economic prosperity embedded in ambitious climate action. Let us heed this call, unite in purpose, and embark on a journey toward a sustainable and prosperous present and future for all.

The David vs Goliath legal climate case: six young people against 32 governments - CAN Europe CAN Europe is a third-party intervener in the largest climate legal action to date. On 27 September 2023, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg is holding a public […]

⚖ Today is a historic day. Today, the biggest climate case ever is in the hearings of European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.

🙌🏽 Climate Action Network Europe (CAN Europe) stands in support and solidarity with the six young Portuguese heroes for taking 32 European countries to the court to push them to act on climate change and protect their rights. The climate crisis is a human rights crisis.

🛡 The courtroom looks like the David vs. Goliath fight. On one side, six young people. On the other side, 32 national European governments. It is an unfair situation, similarly as the whole climate crisis is unfair for youth all around the world.

🤝 CAN Europe together with other civil society organisations have been granted the status of third-party intervener. We raised several elements in support of the youths' arguments.

🏆 If we win this case, the whole planet will win. If we win, the countries will be forced to urgently cut their emissions. If we win, it will become a landmark case for all the climate trials in the future.

💖 Today, we are standing in solidarity with the brave youths from Portugal: Mariana (11), André (15), Sofia (18), Martim (20), Claudia (24) and Catarina (23). Together, we can win this one. Join us!

It’s not another start of the school year and it’s not another state of the EU speech. We can’t normalise the unprecedented impacts felt this summer in Europe, harming lives, livelihoods, infrastructure and biodiversity. With the EU elections around the corner, politicians should be courageous, wherever they are in the political spectrum, and deeply transform our economy to adapt it to face these challenges that we are already facing today. The cost of inaction will be much higher and unfair.
